Title: Keypal Project: Valid for any language
Body: The best idea I ever implemented in my 36 years of teaching was a keypal project between my high school L2 Spanish students and a class of third grade migrant kids who were native speakers. The students exchanged weekly e-mails. During the span of a semester, my students made a quantum leap in their writing skills. They decided to send a 'community' Christmas gift to their keypals, including gifts such as maps of our city, photos of family members, homemade foods, etc. Their Spanish-speaking counterparts did the same thing. On the downside, my students' vocabulary suddenly included the jargon of eight year olds, including the spelling mistakes commonly made by kids in that age group.

Title: Internet media in the classroom
Body: I did an independent project with a student this semester that worked pretty well. She did a review of the week's news from France in online media and wrote several short summary articles that were developed into a newsletter. The editing of the first 2-3 drafts focused entirely on language communication and accuracy. They were done in plain text format in MS Word. For the final draft, she used some electronic publishing skills that she already possessed to turn her articles into a newsletter format. The grade was based entirely on the writing. Although I made suggestions and critiqued the format, that was not a part of the grade. I think that teachers can avoid some of the negative impact of technology interference with writing and distraction from the language component by separating the two skills, limiting the technology to things that will not require significant learning time, and using rubrics that clearly show what is important by assigning a low percentage of the grade to techno glitz and a high percentage to meeting high language expectations.

Title: German verbs and prepositions
Body: From: http://german.about.com/library/verbs/blverb_prep01.htm There are many German verbs and idiomatic verb phrases that use prepositions. English also uses verbs with prepositions (to believe in or talk about), but German may use a different preposition for the same expression (glauben an for believe in) and German can often have two possible cases for a preposition in a verbal idiom. Determining which case to use can sometimes be confusing for English-speakers, but this guide can help reduce such confusion.
